welp, it’s another story how useful is this picture 😄, it just came to my mind and brought me some nostalgia in the meantime towards the artist. (yeah, saying artist in this case is strange, but otherwise who made this is a digital artist, or was, idk how active still)

reminded me of this picture

I like nano tho it has some strange shortcuts

I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can’t give you any meaningful inputs…

I don’t know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.

But I’m no expert.

It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, this is broken, too. But around 40 taps later, it works once or twice.

The site you linked ia broken in this manner for me, too.

As for the pi-hole - no, nothing like that. I have some extensions and Firefox’s blocking set to strict mode, but they don’t matter.

Also one copy of the data is zero copies and 2 copies is one copy.

ah, just like with beer

noice!

edit: oh, it WON’T work >4GB, misread that at first. Then not really noice in the end :/ Movies could be larger than 4GB (tho kinda rarely, I never go above full hd)

yeah, well, I really need a better backup system, I almost lost my stuff countless times ago. TestDisk saved my ass everytime on more major fuckups, but sooner or later I’ll burn myself…

🤞

Thanks for the tip. Though I wouldn’t mind if it would work on almost anything - even like Android or some older systems. Not a real need, just would be nice if I could plug mymedia drive into anything and watxh stuff from it (maybe even from older, not smart TVs if it’s possible)

will FAT32 work on 2TB volume?

more like a dedicated assistant button than wake-word I think

Would it worth, though? I mean, is there a significant difference on IDE between HDD or SSD? With an adapter, SATA speeds on the long run would be bottlenecked by IDE if I’m correct.

without any checking of course, I assumed that machine is “new enough” to have some form of SATA in it, but good point

If you use mechanical hard drive in it, it worth a try to replace it with an SSD. After that, Debian should run much better.

it’s not personal, though. that’s the point

sounds reasonable

Really the only thing you have to do after installing Windows (if Linux was the first) is to reinstall your bootloader from a live Linux environment.

If it’s Grub, you can look here: https://pendrivelinux.com/restore-grub-after-windows-install/

If I’m right, during the restoration of the bootloader, Grub will find your Windows installation too, and will add it to the menu.
